    What happens when I don't register at my rental address? They chase the landlord?

    I dont think the landlord can be held responsible for your bills, and if he gives them your pps number i think he may be in breach of data protection.

    So you're ruling out Sinn Fein too? Do you understand how our system works? It's controlled by political whip, for better or worse. If you want to vote for an independent or loony party because you think they will run the country well then thats fine. If you do it as some protest then you'd be better not voting. Fine Gael got in because of your kind of voting.

    I voted in the local elections. Sdcc is my area.

    A mixture of independents and smaller parties have control there. It works fine.

    Basically the nightmare scenario of independents is not as disastrous as the supporters of the main parties would have is believe.

    Don't worry about it.

    Cos national level works just the same as a powerless local council.

    Well we'll know soon enough. What are FG worried about anyway? They had this all worked out, a little bit of a "give back" in 2015 and roll on to an easy reelection. It's looking good.

    Heeeyyyy.... Wait a minute are you guys trying to sidetrack me here? Independents, whips majority's and stuff? Is this the famous whataboutery distraction you guys use? Joe Higgins and shinners were even mentioned. I should have seen it coming.


    Tierney will be sacked and everything will be fine. Don't worry lads. It's grand.

    Welcome to the Terry Prone Communication clinic thread.
    Whataboutery distraction is the order of the day.

    Did someone say Sinn Fein?

    Yes.
    Apparently they have a solution.
    But I'm not sure the people are any keener on privatisation compared to the current situation.

    They wont be chased for it.


    Al the landlord has to do is prove they are not living in the house/its rented out.

    They're quite adept at manipulating their target audience into believing in them.

    It isn't up to them to register a house they have rented out AFAIK.


    Only the house in which they live in.

    Like FG so.


    Who, not only were against an LPT in the pre election manifesto, but then later introduced one anyway, and went on to tell us more spoofs about where the money would be 100% ringfenced for.


    (hint, it wasn't setting up Irish water and their mates)

    I imagine a name would help though, because 'when all these court case come up', its gonna be fierce hard to summons an actual house (address only) or an 'occupier'.

    Actually Fine Gael stated they would introduce water charges in their manifesto.

    Sinn Fein on the other had have said they will privatize Irish water.

    Which is why I mentioned an LPT and didn't mention the water charge.

    And if SF ever get into power and do a similar U-turn, I'll ridicule them.

    Ok so you avoided mentioning water charges in the water charges thread and spoke exclusively on lpt because that suits your argument?

    Ok.

    It would be clear to all as to why you're choosing to pedantic, and not even try to defend the blatant lies, and blatant 'mismanagement' of money for the Local Property Tax , that was to be ring fenced for Local services.


    It wasn't to be spent on setting up a quango.


    (ok?)


    So if you'd like to discuss that, lets play.

    You would need to be pretty thick to miss what his point was. But sure let's just ignore the sentences before and after the falling from the sky comment because who needs context eh.

    You're going off on a tangent again. The post you quoted (that you were originally replying to) has nothing to do with lpt.

    Someone says SF are adapt at manipulating their audience and you respond that FG are also manipulative. I agree btw but it's not really relevant.

    Fact is FG have water charges in their manifesto while SF want to privatize it.
